I mean, he’s got the spirit? Is this chaotic neutral?

You might have a point looking at the state of society and the legality of that action in their country. But without any of that information it looks like their just serving their and their own’s best interest which would fall under the neutral category in DnD. Thus we see why alignment charts suck tarrasque balls.

I’d say if you get married in a place with alimony, then you do ethically owe your spouse alimony in the case of divorce. Part of the understanding under which the relationship commitments were made.

Now the wife has every reason to to seek back pay & take more. She can just tell the judge, what else was he lying about?

Depends, is this illegal? Did the employee know they where going to get rehired during the trial. Was it a lie to state they where not employed?

I feel this is morally wrong but not quite punishable. If annything the system is broken for allowing such loophole. Either they owe a part of their income or they don’t. That part can be “zero” bur current employment shouldn’t be part of that calculation.

Also, alimony isn’t a 1 meeting thing and then you’re free.

Yes. Lying to a court is illegal.

I was not a fly in this court but seems like there is no reason to assume they lied about anything.

They where factually unemployed at the time of hearing.

They have the right to remain silent and not incriminate themselves about any potential rehiring.

It could also be setup by the boss without employee awareness, a excuse to rehire them after their business suffers (i fired you for your own good but i couldn’t tell you to not influence the legal system)

I’m 99% sure that alimony doesn’t work like that in the US. Are there any countries where it does work that way?

At least somewhere in southern mainland Asia, yes, but I’m curious about whether this joke would actually work in any countries, India included. Are you affirming that it works in India?

Everyone must always affirm the joke in the meme works. You affirm all of your memes, correct?

It works because it highlights two issues in India, the justice system being in favour for women and the casual misogynism

From my understanding, I believe it does, in that if your income decreased, your alimony can be reduced.

Of course, this is almost certainly a work of fiction.

Sure, but once your income goes back up so does the alimony, at least in the US

Wasn’t there a comedian/actor who was/is living in Canada to avoid maintenance payments he couldn’t possibly make, as the calculation was done with he had just received about three years income in a single cheque, and he doesn’t actually make 3 years income each month

I wouldn’t be surprised, based on that, if what matters is income on the day of the court order

Not necessarily. I recall a court case where an ex-husband tried to reduce alimony payments by quitting a well-paying job in tech to work at a fast food restaurant, got sued by the wife, and was ordered by the judge to continue paying the previous amount because he was clearly qualified and able to retain the job and had created the situation on purpose.

He quit the job, rather than being fired, correct?

Where I live my father got a solid quote to pay each month. My mother could sue for more, however, when his income rose. So this dude, after posting this online, opened the gate for the woman to sue his employee, at least if it happened here.
